So what's the overall opinion gaf?
I've been really back and forth on their between last year's train wreck and the fact that I'm busy paying Canadian prices ($80).
Also with the gold edition why is it $40 more than the standard if the season pass is $30?
Is there something extra or anything special at all to make up for the extra $10?

I don't think anybody knows the exact date but if they release it too soon they will get hammered for not putting it in the game. The climate towards Ubisoft isn't exactly healthy. They felt the need to add genders and sexual orientation to their classic "This game is made by many people with different beliefs and religions" intro sentence.

I did one of the fight clubs last night where in the final round a invisible enemy hopped into the ring and beat my ass. It didn't even allow me to get into combat with the enemy. lol.

The main male is Roger Pera in spanish. His the usual voice actor of Matt damon in Spain, great funny voice.
He also has done Phoenx Wright's and the main character from dying light in videogames. The main female is also a famous voice actress.
If something Ubisoft does great everytime, is making amazing spanish dubs on their games, at least on the Assassin Creeds.
Cant say the same about the bugs.

Fuck! I wasn't planning on getting this but seeing the good reviews and hearing the positive impressions made me buy this. I don't have any time to play this with Halo 5 and Need for Speed next week, I can only play for a couple of hours a night during the week. Plus I never finished MGS5..... Why do I do this to myself!? That said, I'm pretty excited to play this all weekend.

Over the last weeks I was writing stuff on gaf like "won't buy it this time". But I bought it anyway, because what I read in the reviews sounded good to me. I saw it for a good price and I was simply in the mood for this awesome setting.
First impression is good, climbing and fighting feels improved.

After seeing what Anita said and reading GAF's opinions I may actually get this. I skipped on Unity because it was shit in every which way (and I would have rather had Rogue). But this one looks like a solid $40 purchase.
Didn't really have much interest in this until i saw the GB QL and it seemed alright. Also alex didn't really throw it under the bus like i would have expected. It seems like when he doesn't like something in a game or if they're glaring flaws, he'll really nail them to the wall and dogpile on it which he didn't do.
Last Ass Creed i played was black flag and it's probably the only game in this franchise and in general that i haven't finished. I really really enjoyed the naval combat stuff, so much that i burnt myself out on the game as a whole because anytime i wasn't on the ship or upgrading it or taking down fortresses felt lame by comparison.
So i'm hoping with this new setting (which looks awesome) and a more focused approach where i'm not basically waging the game against itself that i'll enjoy it all the way through.

I caved and I'm happy. London really sold it for me. Welcome back Assassins Creed.

Im glad theres some positive reviews here, Paris and London where my most wanted cities to appear in an AC game and i already was bummed thinking they fucked up both.
Im not going to give much of a fuck once the series tries to go to asia. Would love if we got 1880-1920 new york though.

There is another user of a Spanish forum
Picked it up on a whim while I grabbed Halo 5 early. It's more competent than I was expecting, by far. Evie seems like an actual good character which is kinda shocking. Combat is really over-animated and doesn't really offer anything new or improved but at least it's faster I guess. Way more mind numbing IMO. City looks good, runs okay.

Great game so far, smooth framerate on PS4, still a clunky AC game but I love it. Graphics are amazing too and story isnt half bad

Nice. I plan to pick it up for PS4 next week.

I'm not a fan of the parkour mechanics and simplistic combat, but I'm having good fun. It's definitely clunky but enjoyable. I'm digging the story and setting a lot, though. London is a very interesting setting, and Jacob and Evie (especially Evie) are the strongest protagonists the series has seen.
I've played the game ~5 hours maybe more and I'm satisfied, London looks and feels great, I like the whole atmosphere, the main protagonists looking very good and I like them.
Story is nothing special but better for me as in Unity.
Free Running feels not so good, was better in Unity for me. visually its nice to see, occasionally there are some pop-in, bad textures or NPC's but everything is ok, the game is definitely not so buggy as Unity.
But I have the feeling this isn't an AAA Title anymore, PS4 could achieve better visuals and I'm sure, with more money and time they could achieve 1080p, maybe even 60 Frames
But I'm enjoying it so far

Really liking this. Took a chance. Funnily enough borrowed Unity a couple of weeks ago and couldn't really get into it. Only done the intro to this and really like it. It's still a little janky between animations but ultimately it's fun. The changes are for the better but it does seem really easy so far.

Honestly this looks bad to me. Buildings look flat and cardboard-like. Probably looks better in motion though.Ps4

It looks better when you're playing it
